How #THRiVELab is re-inventing #breastfeeding science education:
🧑🏻🏫 Teaching breastfeeding to kindergarteners
🎥 Producing a documentary about #LactSci
🩺 Teaching clinicians how to "talk about breastfeeding"

No particular goal, just chatting with cool people! The collabs and jobs just seem to have flowed naturally from that. My two biggest “breaks” (March for Science and my current job at #THRiVELab) emerged from “screwing around on twitter.”
🚨 New #THRiVElab paper!🚨
(Just in time for #NationalBreastfeedingWeek 🍁🤱🏽 )
Led by PhD student Sarah Turner, we explored how human milk fatty acids & oligosaccharides relate to infant neurodevelopment in the @childcohortstudy.bsky.social.

We discussed AI in lab meeting today, so I told ChatGPT to replace Data's Combadge with the #THRiVELab logo 🖖
This is what happens when you let me be in charge of things.

Big congrats to #THRiVElab MSc student, Karinne Cardoso Muniz for receiving a studentship from @researchmb.bsky.social & @chrimanitoba.bsky.social! 👏🏻
Karinne is studying immune proteins in human colostrum together with our partners at the Aga Khan University in Pakistan. Stay tuned for results!
Proud of our new #THRiVElab postdoc Anne Manson for winning a fellowship from @researchmb.bsky.social & @chrimanitoba.bsky.social 👏🏻
Stay tuned for exciting new research on a powerful but rarely studied component of human milk: oxylipins.
